But the ultimate solution would be a switch on the left hand block that toggles between my BMW GS and the KTM 525 while on the move....... Now how hard could that be huh??

It's been done, I seen it at the flicks...

i now how that feels: my hunting swani of 15 years was washed by the mussis thinking she was doing a good deed getting the blood stains out( which she failed to do), so now it aint so water proof and smells to much like human dam that napisan

Get some Sportwash, it's designed for hunting gear amongst other things (eg textile bike gear & goretex). Washes out with no residue, has no brighteners and no perfume. It says in the destructions to store your hunting clothes in a bag with leaves etc from the area you want to hunt in.

Maybe I should try that with my bike. Store the tyres wrapped in mud from the place I want to ride. Maybe that will give me better grip?

Make sure you store them standing up as well , might prevent them from wanting to fall over

Last year I started looking around for a shed. I discovered most of 'em came with a house, but eventually I found a property for sale, in the right place, with a respectable 1:1 house area : shed area ratio. So I am now the proud owner of a fairly new 6m x 9m shed. (It came with an old bach to live in, a decent size section, an overgrown garden & the all important lemon tree.)

The shed is divided into a 6x6 garage/workshop area & a 3x6 lined side room. I got some concrete paint down on the floor, lined the back wall with some MDF I had, then installed a big solid workbench that had come from the old farm workshop & put in a heap of lights as I hate working in a dingy workshop. I just finished adapting an old cabinet to hold all the powertools, next I'm going to install some shelves on the left side for junk/treasure storage, put a steel top on the right end of the bench for a welding area & get a nice beefy bench drill press.

I just finished painting the walls in the side room with random leftover paint. It works well as a gear storage area & I'd like to put in a wider door from the garage so I can move the bike in while welding/grinding etc in the main workshop. A couch/bed also needs to go in for visitor accom.

Cheers

The paint is a bit slipperier than concrete if wet, but not too bad. Dry it's fine. It was Dulux aquatread & is supposed to resist being lifted by hot tyres but a few bits have come off from that, dunno if other brands or an oil based paint may have been better? It does a great job of making the floor easy to clean though.

The signs came out of the skip at a Works yard - they had just replaced all their daggy ones & thrown them out. Totally legit honest

A couple of weeks back, I took the Missus into Motomail to buy her a new set of riding trou, cos she had farted the seams out of the waterproof liner of her current ones. They must have been too tight around her ankles.

Having found and purchased an appropriate garment we sat down for a snack and a coffee in the cafe at the front of the shop. Turned out that the guy sitting across from us and discussing things motorcycle and mechanical, was Ken MacIntosh.
Fascinating!
For example, he uses a drill press and a set of bathroom scales to measure spring rates. Had some interesting comments about Kevin Schwantz riding one of his creations around Puke a couple of months back.

Excellent shed, love the 1 : 1 house shed ratio bit thats the way it should be.
Gear storage area is a great idea, it all looks just a little tooooo tidy though.
Me thinks tidying may have been done for photo`s

No, it normally looks like that

I haven't got OCD honest, hang on, is that one of my posters 0.5 degress misaligned

It is actually a little tidier than normal as the side room had just been re-assembled after moving everything for painting & I'd just finished the tool cabinet project & had a tidy up. The bench is about to get covered in grubby Lexus V8 parts as the next job in there is to work out why the Landcruiser is suddenly pissing oil out the front of the crank.

yep my ute has decided to take a piss out from under the water pump.
why do they break down when monys tight...
and you have to pretty much remove half the front of the ute just to get at it....

oh i have a few road signs that fell off the back of the truck....
